The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) is a striking mushroom , which is common in the low countries. Eating it can lead to symptoms of poisoning, but the severity of this is usually not so bad.
The white dots are remnants of the overall shell in which the mushroom was 'trapped' before it emerged from the ground. These wash off the hat fairly quickly in rainy weather.

Behind The Lens

Location

In a forest near to the city of Nijkerk, in the Netherlands.

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

It was light cloudy and the trees tempered the sunlight quite a lot.

Equipment

My Canon EOS RP, with a Tamron 18-400mm. lens.

Inspiration

The beauty of this red mushroom with its perfectly scattered white dots caught my attention right away.

Editing

Only some cropping.

In my camera bag

My camera, lens and spare battery.

Feedback

When walking in the forest, look around, and pay attention also to small things. Don't be afraid to leave the path.
